Well... We have had a couple of squirrels caught by the dogs. So far no dog/bear encounters on ANY of our runs. Couple of close calls on that count though.
And we've had a couple of dog/porcupine encounters.
And... I wound up kinda run over in 2001. I was directing everyone through a beaver pond where the turn through the brush was difficult for some of the folks to make out. THe last rig was an FJ40 driven by one of our locals. He slowed down as he went by and I tried to step up onto the running board. My foot slipped off and as I fell the rear tire started up my leg. Fortunately the bottom of the pond was pretty soft. We backed the rig off of me and the passenger climbed onto the fender to help me get up and into the rig.
Once we got out of the pond and I got out of my waders, I was bruised pretty badly but that seemed to be it. We went on with the day and kinda kept the situation quite.
Three or four days later I went to the doctor and got my leg x-rayed at my wife's insistence. Turned out I had hairline fractures in both bones of my lower leg.
I consider myself very lucky however. It could have been a LOT worse.
But no babies born on the Trek yet.
Mark...
